Staying independently lets you take better decisions: Akshara Haasan

Actress Akshara Haasan, who has started living on her own in Mumbai, believes that staying independently lets an individual take better decisions in life and prepares him or her to fend for themselves.

On the sidelines of the IIFA Utsavam 2017 in Hyderabad recently, Akshara told that living on her own has made her more responsible. "Boarding school somewhat prepared me for staying on my own.

It taught me to fend for myself and has made me more responsible. When you stay independently, you're a lot clearer in the head. It helps you take better decisions," Akshara said.

Having made her acting debut with R Balki's 2015 film ‘Shamitabh’, she is currently looking forward to the release of her maiden Tamil film ‘Vivegam’. She said she likes to challenge herself with interesting characters.

"Challenging roles give me different kind of joy. While I search for such roles, sometimes they just come to me. Anything challenging lets you push boundaries," she said.
